Flapping Happy

Voters who crave a protective authority they trust are deeply childlike, but like most children, they are easily fooled by cynical adults and lash out when confronted with the reality of that deception. The underlying need is still there and exploitable, so it happens again and again.

Should the white house be renamed The Cheesy Cake Factory?

We’re not talking nearly enough about the sitting president of the United States sending our troops to die in a war while aligning our country with the dictator helping to kill them.

THEY ARE NOT POWERLESS TO STOP HIM! Go back to Washington, stand on the steps of the Capitol and demand Johnson and Thune recall the House and Senate, and impeach him. THIS IS HOW IT IS SUPPOSED TO WORK! THERE IS LITERALLY AN INSTRUCTION MANUAL! (It's called the Constitution.)

This is the first in a series of videos - Promises Made, Promises NOT Kept. Donald J. Trump promised to cut energy prices in half within the first year of his administration. Residential electricity rates have INCREASED since he was sworn in.

Leave NOTHING to chance with this election. DO everything you can.  Text LEIGH to 63033 and Stand Up America will give you something to do to help!

It's said you have to kiss a lot of frogs before you find your prince, some people give up and marry one of the frogs.

He's a lot like JFK especially running not to be a Muslim Senator but to be a Senator who happens to be Muslim, as Kennedy was a president who happened to be Catholic. The constitution was and is the guiding principle for both of them and us. thenationmagazine.substack.com/p/abdul-el-s...

"And somewhere the gods who arrange these things burst into happy and expectant laughter; but of course nobody heard them. Nobody ever does." Anthony Berkeley The Wintringham Mystery Look around, they must be laughing now; but of course we can't hear them.

So, a Trump supporter told me that, “nobody gives a sh*t” about Indigenous Peoples Day. Please, tell me, do you care about Indigenous Peoples Day?

Land of Action organizes election watching in #NewMexico, a component of #election protection. Santa Fe County Clerk has been excluding election watchers. On Friday we sued. Tomorrow, we go to a judge for an emergency temporary injunction. www.landofaction.org/land-of-acti...

Made a little video about my reporting on “Tommy” from the viral @abdulelsayed.bsky.social town hall

Sometimes not wanting to put all your eggs in one basket means that you will have more baskets than you can carry.

Look at the shabby state and increasingly authoritarian trajectory of the country and ask yourself if we can endure 2 more years of a lawless Trump administration wreaking havoc with no check from Congress, then vote accordingly. This is not the time for a protest vote or purity politics.

Thinking about the last two years it's a shock to realize that such a short time has taken so long to pass by.

Word for today, ratiocination

Have you noticed that when adults are scared they make rules when children are scared they break rules

I’ll try a pagan friend, thought I, since Christian kindness has proved but hollow courtesy.

Nothing to see here...just the President of the United States inviting the country he illegally declared war on to "take out" 2 major American cities. If that's not treason, what is? 🤬 Law enforcement won't hold him accountable, but we WILL! The beginning of the end is on November 3rd. #VOTE-BLUE 🌊

she kept saying the way to a man's heart is through his stomach is that why everything she cooked had extra salt?

PROTEST THIS WEEK: "Sexual violence runs from the frat house to the White House, and abusers count on us staying scattered and silent. Show them that we're loud, organized, and we're not backing down. Sign on as a partner for the #StopSexualViolence Day of Action on October 8." www.womensmarch.com

Kinda surprised more Republican politicians aren't pushing for improving incarceration conditions and prison reform considering how many are likely to wind up there. Guess they don't plan that far ahead.

ONE MONTH FROM TODAY:

This is a dramatic interpretation of an except from the full transcript of an interview Trump did for TIME Magazine on October 1, 2026. The full transcript is available for anyone to read - "Helipad Dreams" Voiceover by Juliet Jeske of Decoding Fox News.

Melania Trump tried to bully me into silence because she didn’t like what I had to say about her. Shouldn’t our First Lady have more important things to worry about?

Don’t ask an elected official if they “believe” in climate change, it’s not a religion. Don’t ask if they think it’s serious: it is. Ask them what matters most: what are they doing about it? Excellent application here, 10/10 no notes 👏⬇️👏

What is the right wing pushing the idea of whether we should be in NATO? Who would it benefit if we were not?

keep calm, carry on and support Ukraine

Republicans: Always wanting power - never taking responsibility. Their entire platform is perpetuating problems, while shifting the blame to a third party. And they'll do it over and over - until voters see through it.

I’ll be speaking with the BBC this afternoon about the rural Democratic movement across the country…the movement I’ve been reporting for years now. It has traction, friends. MAGA is in for a surprise from rural America in just a few weeks. Slowly but surely. Change is happening.

Russians killing civilians in Odesa earlier today.

what do I know really though, I just want to live on a peaceful, habitable planet, on which all people are treated with dignity

RT if you've never had a tab of ChatGPT open, period.

The administration has provided zero evidence that these are drug traffickers, and even if they were, there are legal processes for their arrest and trial. What we DO know is that the administration has stopped pursuing actual drug cases to go after immigrants instead.

Great suggestions for returning a ballot. The problem is getting one delivered. If you're not home could FedEx or UPS drop one off at your door? Or an appointment to pick up one at some office? Would each state have its own postal service just to deliver ballots? Otherwise it has to use the USPS.

SCOTUS just gave Trump his ballroom. And the opinion is maddening. Here’s what you need to know about the legal doctrine known as standing. youtube.com/shorts/Sq8bC...

Imagine trying to scare me “Sharia Law” while I live under a GOP supermajority trying to reinstate an abortion ban, while writing bills to put the 10 Commandments in public schools and ban books and free speech. I have nothing to fear, except the Christian nationalists in front of me.

In case you’ve been wondering what Ghislaine Maxwell has been up to at the minimum security prison camp where Todd Blanche stashed her, I have an update. youtube.com/shorts/6DNt4...
